This has become a huge favorite of mine; more so as an adult than as a kid. <br /><br />When I think about it, other than Bruce Lee's films, <i>Master of Kung Fu</i> is the greatest contribution to the early '70s Kung Fu craze (though the show <i>Kung Fu</i> was a fine program, too).Abe Lucashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13991534345391655980noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7897120082101927069.post-83500161743874865382009-01-24T14:16:00.000-05:002009-01-24T14:16:00.000-05:00thanks!

I had the pleasure of working with Gulacy on a number of projects as his inker(the Grackle: Doublecross, Batman, Eternal Warrior, Turok/Timewalker), and loved being able to add as many MOKF touches as i could along the way. Glad to see a fellow fan devoting so much time to bringing out the MOKF luv.<BR/><BR/>I've also posted a long post on my comics blog that you'll find here:<BR/>http://inkdestroyedmybrush.blogspot.com/2007/09/in-praise-of-paul-gulacy-and-master-of.htmlinkdestroyedmybrushhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09037083364689982443noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7897120082101927069.post-74608929894068016122009-01-23T14:27:00.000-05:002009-01-23T14:27:00.000-05:00MOKF was one of the great, unheralded comics of th...MOKF was one of the great, unheralded comics of the '70's.
